I gave it a 4. Pretty boring overall, Rey v. Orton are two guys wrestling each other in my version of Hell. Ruby v. Nattie was miserable and they could hardly pick up the damn tables. Most of the rest was just boring. AJ v. Bryan was great. TLC women’s was good.

I thought most of the matches were pretty good (didn't watch the pre-show). I thought Ronda and the women in the main event were great, and Bryan gave AJ his best match since John Cena 2 years ago. Also, special mention for Finn and Drew. I think that was the best match either of them have been in for a very long time.
The only downsides for me were Natalya and Ambrose. Nattie is just stale beyond belief and has no business decimating three women with tons of potential, and Ambrose has just become completely boring since returning. I miss wacky shaggy haired Dean Ambrose so much. This new one sucks.

Six. Nothing great. AJ/Bryan was good but a bit boring in parts. Lots of botches in the women's TLC. Ronda/Nia was great. Seth/Dean was an abomination. Everything else was like an episode of RAW

I'll give it a 7.
LOVED AJ/Bryan, easily match of the night for me. The main event was good, could've been better, but at least they're booking with an actual plan in mind for once. Becky getting some measure of revenge on Nia backstage was great.
I for one thought Mysterio/Orton was god awful, probably my least favorite match behind Ruby and Natalya, but I don't think Natalya is all that great. Oh, and Rollins/Ambrose got a "this is boring" chant from the crowd because it was. Of those three matches it's a toss up for worst of the night. Dean needs to learn how to sell with facial expressions. I noticed it years ago, and he did it again tonight. Takes a barricade bomb and then lays there like he's trying to remember where he parked his car. Props to Renee for putting up with Graves' insufferable commentary during the match.
For the most part the right people won, and The Empress is FINALLY champion.
We've seen WAY WAY WAY worse this year alone.

Pretty good.
Mixed Match Challenge - Who cares really. The post-match interview was fun though.
Tag match - usual good stuff as you'd expect from these teams. An entertaining 10 minutes.
Corbin v Strowman and friends - heh, the crowd were really into it, so who am I to complain. If this was a Raw segment I'd be moaning about it lol. But for what it was, it's nice to finally see a heel (and a bad one at that) actually get storyline comeuppance.
Natalya vs Riott - OK, I think? Natalya doesn't really entertain me.
Balor v Mcintyre - much better than I'd expected. Happy to see Balor go over, I think Drew could take the loss here much more than Finn. Entertaining.
Rey v Orton - Good match but I just hate seeing Rey Mysterio win, haha.
Ronda v Nia - Ronda continues to improve. She's carrying people like Nia through matches now.
Bryan v AJ - Really good. Was expecting another AJ PPV match that underwhelmed and had a shitty finish. Glad we didn't get that!
Ambrose v Rollins - Slow. Didn't hate it as much as others on here seem to.
Becky v Asuka v Charlotte - Great. Slow start, but damn, these women didn't hesitate to get violent. Great booking decision to end. These women and thie title are quite rightly the hottest part of the whole company right now.
I'd give that an 8.
